Chris Eubank Jr. edges out Conor Benn on points in a thrilling showdown.

Chris Eubank Jr. claimed victory over Conor Benn by unanimous decision in a thrilling middleweight fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The long-awaited match came three years after their original bout was cancelled and 32 years after their fathers famously shared the ring. Eubank controlled the key rounds and earned a clean sweep on the scorecards, with all three judges scoring it 116-112 in his favour.

Benn started the fight fast, using his speed and aggression to land early shots. But Eubank stayed calm, found his rhythm, and took control in the middle rounds. He used his jab well and landed clean punches, especially in the final round, where he nearly forced a stoppage. Despite the pressure, Benn showed heart and stayed on his feet until the final bell.

Before the fight, Eubank missed weight by a tiny margin and was fined heavily, but it didn’t affect his performance. He looked strong in the later rounds and showed his experience under pressure. This win keeps him in line for a possible future fight against one of the sport’s biggest stars, Saul Canelo Alvarez.

The night was also special for personal reasons. Chris Eubank Sr. made a surprise appearance, walking his son to the ring, while Nigel Benn watched from the crowd. It was a powerful moment, bringing the family rivalry full circle. Eubank Jr. spoke emotionally after the fight, saying that seeing his father gave him a lift and that he was proud to carry the family name forward.

For Conor Benn, this was the first defeat of his professional career. He handled it well and admitted he might have made some mistakes during the fight. After a long time out of the ring, he may now return to a lower weight where he’s had more success in the past.

Even though there was no title on the line, the fight felt like a major event. It was watched by 62,000 fans in the stadium and is expected to bring in strong pay-per-view numbers. With the strong response from fans and a shared £18 million purse between the fighters, a rematch could be on the horizon.

This was more than just a fight. It was a story of legacy, rivalry, and heart — and it delivered from start to finish.
